Pier i Cafè. Photographs by Scott Etkin.

By Scott Etkin

Pier i Café, the seasonal outdoor restaurant, has re-opened in Riverside Park (down by the water near 70th Street). “The Pat LaFreida burgers are back,” wrote the Pier i Team in an email to the WSR, referring to the New Jersey-based meat purveyor that has also been the longtime purveyor to Shake Shack. And there are “plenty of tables now that the restrictions have been lifted.” Some other highlights from the menu include: a Cape Cod lobster roll, chicken tenders, veggie burger, fish ‘n chips and Old Bay fries. The café, which has counter service only, will be open until November. (Thanks to Steffanie for the tip.)

Noi Due Gelato.

This summer, Noi Due Gelato is opening next door to Noi Due Café, the kosher Italian restaurant, on Columbus between 83rd and 84th Street. The small shop will serve gelato and sorbet made from scratch, Noi Due wrote on Instagram, including dairy Cholov Yisroel, pareve and vegan options. There are also plans for “daily specials and unique holiday flavors.” The gelato shop expands Noi Due’s presence on the UWS, which also includes Noi Due Carne, at 141 West 69th Street, and Noi Due Pizza, at 43 West 69th Street. (Thanks to Amelia for the tip.)

Jet’s Pizza.

Jet’s Pizza, a Detroit-style pizza chain, is coming to Amsterdam between 95th and 96th Street. Detroit-style pizza has a rectangular, thick crust. Jet’s uses dough made from “a proprietary blend of flour” and bakes it in steel pans, made in Detroit, that “retain and distribute heat evenly.” Jet’s was founded in Sterling Heights, MI in 1978 and now has hundreds of locations, including two already in NYC, across 19 states. The space used to be Sweety Angel Nail & Spa. (Thanks to Asad for the tip.)

Spectrum.

A new Spectrum store is now open on Broadway between 83rd and 84th Street. Customers can get support for Internet, TV, mobile and voice services, as well as shop for devices and accessories. The hours are Monday through Saturday, from 10am to 8pm and Sunday, from noon to 5pm. The space used to be Chico’s, a women’s clothing store.

I cannot overstate my excitement about the new Spectrum location. It is my favorite retail hang spot.

Thank goodness Gale Brewer is fighting so hard to shutdown the 15 minute delivery services! Gives Spectrum retail locations a fighting chance!

I walked by Pier i last week, and they were serving! They usually start the season with shortened hours, typically during the daytime.

I was about to ask if Famiglia had closed or something?

Honestly. The pizza places that have opened on Amsterdam have bot done well.

That Detroit-style pizza at Jet’s sounds like Sicilian-style pizza.

Detroit square pizza is different from sicilian in that it is not just a thick piece of dough with sauce and cheese on top. The edges of the slices are crispy. While the crust is much thicker than a standard slice, it is thinner than a sicilian. And the pan it is cooked in gives the crust a chewier texture.

Also, I am not worried about Famiglia, which frankly tastes like the McDonalds of pizza. Little Italy on 92nd is so much better. If Sal’s would just cut down on the salt…

You gave the wrong link for Noi Due Cafe; you used the link for Pier i Cafe.

Please confirm that the Spectrum store at 96 and Broadway will also be remaining open? If so, we on the UWS are very fortunate to have two locations so close together.

Plus it is also nice to have a large empty storefront filled.

I hope the new Spectrum location will provide kinder costumer service than the one on Broadway at 96th street. The West 96th street location will refuse to provide service to anyone unless they sign in on the touch screen even if the touch screen is non-functional or non-responsive. I observed an elderly costumer before me unable to sign in and when I pleaded with 3 non-occupied reps to help her, they refused. I tried to help her but the touch screen was non-responsive. I left a comment about this on Spectrum’s Facebook page, Spectrum then blocked me from posting comments instead of addressing the problem.

At least I won’t have to walk far for my all-too-frequent trips to wait in line for an hour wait standing because in order to make Spectrum even more heinous there is seating for approximately 1/50th of those unfortunates paying outrageous bills that can be raised three times in 8months. And I thought I was being held hostage.

I do business in NYC A FEW TIMES A YEAR and usually stay on the UWS. Recently, I noticed that the Victoria Secret store on Broadway at 85th is closed. Could it be because of the homeless guy sleeping 24/7 near the stores door ? What is wrong with you residences ! You must learn how to
fight for your community . Very sad.

Stores are closing everywhere. Homelessness is a symptom of the same condition–the shrinking of US capitalism. Does your idea of “fighting for our community” have anything to do with finding homes for the homeless?
